KA days with Scott & Oliver- sublime.
Being “on another level” is an overused term, but he looked like he was playing a different version of basketball with a different set of skills than anyone else on the court. The team was talented, but he was playing faster and more fluidly than anyone around him on either team.
We knew we were just a stop on the way to the NBA, but just hoped we’d be a longer stop.
I was wondering if he was the best player in the NCAA when he was here. He got picked second in the NBA draft behind Larry “Grandmama” Johnson from UNLV. That super-loaded UNLV team was the only thing that stopped us, and if we’d been seeded better we’d have met them in the championship.
I remember him getting bald patches because he was so stressed during the season—he was playing the entire season getting ready for the NBA draft, basically.
